We are driven by a commitment to excellence in everything we do. Our values—Drive for Better, Delight Customers, Do What’s Right and Develop People—shape our culture and guide our decision-making. Our strategic priorities focus on Everyday Excellence, Outstanding Experience, and Everlasting Impact. Experience the perfect blend of opportunity and community, where you will benefit from a supportive and people-focused culture.

About the Role

To help shape our future, we are seeking a Talent Partner to build and lead our Talent & Development function from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to design, prioritise and embed what really matters — creating practical, high-impact talent and learning solutions that enable our strategy, strengthen leadership capability, and support sustainable growth.

This role is not about inherited frameworks or over-engineered programmes. It’s about clarity, focus and delivery.

You will bring the initiative, judgement, and experience to:

• Establish a fit-for-purpose Talent & Learning strategy aligned to our purpose, values, and strategic priorities.
• Build the foundations of a global function — determining what we do, when, and why.
• Prioritise ruthlessly, ensuring that effort and investment deliver measurable value to the business.
• Partner closely with senior leaders to build leadership capability, succession, and future-ready skills.
• Create simple, scalable approaches to learning, development, early careers, and talent pipelines.
• Embed a culture of continuous development that supports performance, engagement and retention.

About You

The ideal candidate will have:

• Proven experience in Talent and/or Learning in a complex, preferably global organisation.
• Experience in building or resetting a function — knowing what is essential, what can wait, and what to stop.
• Strong commercial and strategic judgement, with the confidence to challenge and influence at senior level.
• A pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset — you turn ambition into action.
• Credibility working in operational, people-intensive environments (FM, Retail, engineering, services, or similar).
• A leadership style grounded in clarity, trust and purpose.

Diversity Statement

We want to create a workplace where everyone feels safe to bring their whole selves to work. We recognise that every individual has different needs. This is Macro’s EDI campaign, a commitment to understanding and supporting those needs, both professionally and personally. Our aim is to help identify and acknowledge individual needs that may impact work-life experience. It’s about being proactive, learning from one another, and creating a supportive space that encourages growth and productivity. Should you need to discuss any reasonable adjustments or require guidance about our recruitment process, please contact [e-mail] to speak to a member of our team.
